Best for razor clamming and shell hunting
Low tide exposes vast flats ideal for digging razor clams and finding sand dollars and shells.
Drive on south section, walk north section
Vehicle driving is permitted south toward Ocean Shores but prohibited north, creating a quieter, car-free area just beyond.
Excellent for wheelchair and mobility access
The hard-packed sand and gentle slope allow wheelchairs to roll all the way to the water's edge.
Bring water and use facilities first
There are no shops or portable bathrooms on the beach itself, only facilities at the parking area entrance.
Pack layers for cold weather
Temperatures stay in the 50s to 60s most of the year, with strong ocean winds that can chill.
